Who does Kanye West turn to for fashion advice?
A 19-year-old Yale sophomore who took a leave of absence from the Ivy League school to become the rapper’s personal stylist after a chance encounter at Barneys New York!
Cassius Clay, an art history major, opens up about getting tapped on the shoulder by Kanye at the department store – who complimented him on the way he was dressed – and soon becoming his creative consultant.
“My father is in his 80′s and my mother in her 60′s so they’re not exactly Kanye‘s typical listening demographic. Still, they could appreciate opportunity and were very supportive of a productive pause in my track at Yale,” Cassius told Opening Ceremony‘s blog.
“My mother made a Twitter account to follow Kanye (not me),” he added, “and I’ve found both Graduation and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in my father’s car.”
